About this apartment rental

As you pull through the wrought iron gates and up the driveway of Arlington House, a stone's throw from the popular village of Bibury, you'll see The Sycamore at the end of the driveway. It is a truly deceptive retreat, looking like a neat and tidy new build from the outside, but step through the front door and you'll be wow-ed by the spacious, stylish, fully equipped, and open plan character of this one-bedroom bolthole.

The front door opens into a small entrance lobby from where an oak and glass staircase leads up to the open plan living area. At the top of the stairs, you'll find the dining area followed by a well-equipped kitchen and the slightly off-set gorgeous seating area, overlooking the patio through bi-fold doors. Also, at the top of the stairs, is a luxury shower room, featuring a large, walk-in shower. At the far end of the living area is the inviting bedroom, with its king-size double bed on a majestic wooden bed frame. Throughout, no expense has been spared in the presentation of The Sycamore, from the oak flooring to the unique artwork and from the sumptuous furniture to the extra welcoming touches that you'll discover as soon as you arrive.Ground Floor
Hallway:
Step from the gravelled parking area immediately in front of The Sycamore into an entrance lobby with polished limestone floor, handy coat hooks, and a pretty antique chair - ideal for perching while you remove your boots or shoes before heading up the beautiful oak staircase to the open plan living space and king-size bedroom.First Floor
Dining-Living-Kitchen Area:
Emerge at the top of the stairs to a brightly lit, elegant, and beautifully decorated living space, with the stunning king-size antique bed in view at the far end. A dining table at the top of the stairs comfortably seats two around a contemporary, glass-top table. The dining space leads to a central island housing the oven and hob, crockery, and glassware. At the far end is a double ceramic sink, kettle, toaster, and fridge-freezer, while a sideboard at the dining end houses a microwave oven.

Within the main living area, but slightly off-set, is the delightful seating area, with a three-seater sofa and plush, velvet cushions, a coffee table, and a large smart TV with an Amazon Firestick. The living area has bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio.

At the top of the stairs, French doors open out onto an elevated walkway that leads round to the back of The Sycamore's patio.

Bedroom:
At the far end of The Sycamore is the beautiful bedroom, with a king-size bed on a fabulously carved mahogany bed frame, creating an opulent feel, perfect for any couple wanting to escape for a romantic break. The bedroom has bedside tables with reading lights, a comfy antique armchair and occasional chair, with a low coffee table between the chairs, a large double wardrobe with hanging space and shelves, and a Velux window (with fitted blind) that allows the sunlight to flood in.

Shower Room:
Just opposite the dining area is the entrance to the luxurious shower room, which features a large walk-in shower with handheld and overhead showerheads, a contemporary washbasin with vanity unit and large mirror, a dual flush W.C. and a heated towel rail. All towels, shampoo, and soap are provided for guests.Outside
The Sycamore's guests have a private patio at the rear of the property, accessed through the living area's bi-fold doors or through French doors at the top of the stairs. A table and seating is provided along with a charcoal BBQ (please provide your own fuel). The patio looks out to a towering beech tree and Arlington House's lovely garden.

Sycamore Cottage proved to be exactly what was described on the website. We were kept informed of details and received an informative Welcome Booklet. Finding the cottage and entering proved to be very easy. The cottage itself is very comfortable and we were welcomed with tea, coffee, biscuits and wine which was appreciated. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. If was extremely quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed watching the birds out of the large patio windows. Bibury itself is stunning and it was so nice to wander round early in the morning and later in the evening when most of the tourists had left. Bibury is a short drive from many picturesque villages and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay at Sycamore Cottage and would definitely stay again.

We found The Sycamore a very comfortable and pleasant place to stay and the shower is exceptional! Outside, the patio is a tranquil spot to enjoy at any time of day. This is a lovely place from which to explore the stunning surrounding countryside.

The apartment is quirky and be very clean. It’s in a perfect location and Bibury is beautiful if very busy with tourists. The only downsides are the large hedge at the back of the balcony so there are no views out the back and it makes the balcony much smaller than it could be. The pictures need to be updated as they do not reflect how large both the hedge and the Sycamore tree have become. In addition, the kitchen needs more houseware. It’s missing a tea pot, pint glasses and various other items you would expect. In summary, it’s a lovely, clean apartment and we had a great time. It would have been better if the outside space was in better shape though.

Attractive property that is very tastefully furnished. Private yet spacious accomodation for a couple, and a short distance from the heart of of Bibury, which appears to be at the top of everyone's Cotswolds hit list - and for good reason. Superb walking opportunities to Coln St Aldwyns and beyond. Highly recommended.

The Sycamore is a nice apartment for two people. As mentioned you need to take steps to it from parking Level, but due to some "hilly" area, the terrace is then on apartment Level, next to owners garden. We did Not Miss anything; depending on length of stay, Towel Change might be useful, however, we did Not ask for it. The shower under the roof might be too small for very large People, for me with nearly 1,9 m it was still ok. Really a nice and calm Space. We did not meet the owner due to our daily trips, but all needed was cleared by Whatsapp. Very friendly! But you need a car to Go around

Great little hideaway, cosy and warm with lots to do close by. Great walks from doorstep with lots of pubs to visit on route. Lots of great villages and towns to visit especially Cirencester. The property has everything you could want with a great shower and everything you need in the kitchen as well.
